ORGANISED BY HAMISH PEARCH & WILL REES

9 FEBRUARY - 18 MARCH 2017

Library
of Spoons II brings together a collection of handmade studio
fragments arranged in curated spaces within a handmade wooden bookshelf. Recalling
Art Nouveau’s
ideology of affecting all interior items with an artistic sensitivity, the
domestic and surreal objects on display include ceramic spoons balanced on leather
pillows, leaning against the bookcase walls, or fastened with leather strips;
jacquard-knitted textiles based on stylised botanical representations,
hand-embroidered napkins and other objects from the studio. The Spoon, as the primary, childhood tool for the
consumption of food, takes on fantastical forms that prioritise its aesthetic
rather than functional qualities.
